> I can see what you (or the parent) was getting at and somewhat agree that it's not a "full" truth, and there is some nuance at play. The nuance is important, consider the statements: 1. DSA Direct sells data it has collected on you to Facebook. 2. Facebook sells data it has collected on you to advertisers. These two statements appear to be the same but they are describing different things. The first statement describes the sale of data in a sense that a non-technical person would understand: Facebook gives DSA Direct money, and DSA Direct gives them data on individuals. The second statement is deliberately crafted to look like the first (so as the ignite the same emotions) but describes something completely different. DSA Direct cannot buy data from Facebook. I cannot buy data from Facebook. People will go to great lengths (eg. "If I target a single person with ads, I can probe their information gradually") to equate the two, but they are not the same.
